Is this text clearer?

native: onscreen text is not subtitled, designed to accompany video that already includes burnt-in alien subtitles
nocrawl: onscreen text is not subtitled, designed to accompany video that does not include burnt-in alien subtitles

It’s a bit clearer. I guess for me what is confusing is that they both state that on-screen text does not subtitled. But it isn’t immediately clear to me what on-screen text is being referred to. Because it is the exact same description “on-screen text is not subtitled”, I automatically think that they are equivalent statements. But since what the on-screen text is, is different, those are not equivalent statements.

Not sure if I’m adequately describing what I find confusing about it or if I’m just being confusing myself.

Is this accurate?

native: opening crawl and alien language is not subtitled, designed to accompany video that already includes burnt-in alien subtitles
nocrawl: opening crawl is not subtitled, but alien language is, designed to accompany video that does not include burnt-in alien subtitles

Thanks for all the information about the compat subtitles. Still seems quite confusing to me… Is the compat more for Hardware players and the straight-up ones are better for software players or is it really a who knows what you will need type of situation? I wonder if you’ve gotten feedback from people about which ones they have tended to use for those languages? Wondering if there is an easy way to say what the specific file each language user should use in most cases.
